Today we’d like to introduce you to Ramon Bruin.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Ramon Bruin is my name and I am born in 1981 in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. I am mainly known for my 3d drawings. In 2012 I gained worldwide recognition for my own unique style called ‘Optical Illusionism’. Since then my artwork has been shown in over 70 countries. Besides the optical illusions, I masters a massive palette of contemporary art styles. And the best thing is: I keep searching, discovering and having loads of fun.
I create neo-expressionism paintings, popart paintings, different kinds of realistic and graffiti murals and I often do live painting at festivals.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It is never a smooth road. It is hard work all the time. Being an internationals artist is not just about painting pretty pictures; it is about running a business with a huge netwerk.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I create 3d optical illusions. I am the one who invented this style back in 2012. I brought it to paper and since then I inspired a lot of people.
I also paint neo-expressionism and popart paintings
I create large murals
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Part of being an artist is doing a lot of posts on social media. I hate social media. To me it is a love/hate relation with big tech. So most of my stories are kind of sarcastic.
And because I am fairly sarcastic, this feeling is part of my painting as well.
